Poll shows strong support among Floridians for Medicaid expansion


Poll shows strong support among Floridians for Medicaid expansion
A majority of Floridians want the Legislature to expand Medicaid, according to a new poll conducted by
“There’s simply no reason to not expand Medicaid in Florida,” said
William Miller, Protect Our Care Florida director. “On top of the benefits both to the health of millions of Floridians and the economic benefits to the state, it is also consistently a broadly popular policy that most Floridians support.”
Those numbers go up when hearing certain facts. After hearing that an expansion would result in over 1.3 million people gaining access to health insurance coverage, 53% are more likely to support the policy and just 22% are less likely. With that information, 63% of independents favor the change.

Good Tuesday morning.
Breaking overnight — “
Gov. DeSantis signs online sales tax plan” via Renzo Downey of Florida Politics — DeSantis has signed the online sales tax bill into law, answering the question of whether he would act on the bill or let it roll into law without his John Hancock. An estimated $1 billion in revenue would come from the new enforcement of sales taxes technically already owed on purchases Floridians make from out-of-state sellers, but which few Floridians pay. DeSantis had until midnight to sign or veto the bill into law or else it would have gone into effect without his signature. Lawmakers sent him the bill on April 12. He waited until one hour left in the day Monday to send the alert that he had signed the measure. DeSantis never signaled his support for the plan. If anything, he voiced his opposition.
